GO Markets
For forex, Standard lists spreads from 0.8 pips with no separate commission. GO Plus+ lists spreads from 0.0 pips and, in a USD base-currency account, US$2.50 commission per lot per side. Those are starting figures, not the spread you will see every time you trade. To compare the accounts, check the live spread for the same symbol and include the GO Plus+ commission for both opening and closing the position.
A commenter asks about spreads and execution in this Reddit discussion. The commenter's country is unknown.
Find the spread in MT5
Log in to the GO Markets account you plan to use. In MT5's Market Watch, find the instrument and display Bid, Ask and Spread. If a column is hidden, use the Market Watch context menu to show it. The spread is Ask minus Bid; the quote changes as the market moves. MT5's Market Watch guide also explains where to open the symbol's Specification to check its contract size and price precision. Check those details before comparing a platform figure in points with a website figure in pips.
Look at the quote during the hours you would normally trade. A screenshot from another account or an advertised minimum cannot tell you what your account will show at that moment.
What each account charges
- Standard: The GO Markets account comparison lists spreads from 0.8 pips and US$0 commission. Its forex cost is built into the spread.
- GO Plus+: The same page lists spreads from 0.0 pips and US$2.50 per side for forex. The spreads and fees page lists forex commission per lot by account base currency, so check the currency shown on your account. For one lot in a USD base-currency account, US$2.50 on each side adds up to US$5 when you open and close, in addition to the spread.
Both accounts have floating spreads. The figures on the broker's spreads page were collected from 1 to 28 February 2026 as a reference, and the page says actual prices may differ. A 0.0-pip starting spread therefore does not mean a zero-cost GO Plus+ trade. The quoted forex commission also should not be applied automatically to every CFD product.
Compare the cost that applies to you
Choose one forex pair and the same trade size in each account. At roughly the same time, note each account's Bid and Ask, then convert the spread to money using that symbol's contract size. Add the applicable opening and closing commission to GO Plus+. If you plan to hold the position overnight, check the symbol's swap rate as a separate cost. The cheaper account depends on the live spread, your trade size and the commission currency; the published minimum alone cannot settle it.
Forex and CFD trading with leverage can produce substantial losses. Check your account's terms and current quote before placing an order.
